So you would leave the 30 alone?

I would structurally reinforce it with sleeves, gussets, and maybe a truss. But as I said I'm really intrigued by what Echo did, i don't think anyone is running that setup on here and if they are I haven't come across it, which is why I'm curious to see how it handles since it's a much more economic solution in the longrun.

Yeah me to I have til next summer to pick but I picked my lift and tires a year before I got them. I don't mind building the 30 if it will be good for me but could also just save longer for a 44. Are the LSD much different from selectable?

I went the same route as Echo and couldn't be happier. The trutracs hook up instantly on any surface.

Interestingly enough the clutch pack on the factory rear LSD had completely disintegrated when I went to swap. Only 8600 km! Apparently there is an issue but it's not being communicated. My local dealership sees this quite often.

So in short if ur still stock check ur rear diffs

How are they driving on the road or snow? Do you get pretty good traction? I keep thinking maybe LSD up front and arb rear.

I haven't had them in snow yet either. They are invisible with regular driving. U will have to adjust your driving style as its pretty easy to chirp the tires when applying gas taking a slow corner.
